Greeting Card Universe has a crazy number of unique, custom and personalized cards, invitations and announcements. Browse through dozens of categories, and if you don’t find quite what you’re looking for, task an artist and a new card will be created within 48 hours, at no extra charge! Cards are already easily customizable from photos to text, and Greeting Card Universe will even send your card directly to the recipient, just for the price of the stamp (internationally too!) Cards are $3.00 each, but are discounted when you buy 5 or more.
The birth announcements and photo birth announcements are so cute; they have styles to fit every taste and can I just say that I LOVE the idea of having them mailed directly?
Greeting Card Universe has cards for occasions you’d never find elsewhere, cards in foreign languages, cute, hilarious, and even sarcastic cards.
You can choose from adoption announcements, photo adoption annoucements cute or funny pregnancy announcements, and even cards for twins, triplets (and more!)
They have lots of unique thank you cards and baby shower thank you cards, and like every other card they can be customized too!
I’m known for sending thank you notes very promptly after receiving a gift. When I had my daughter, I almost dreaded getting a gift since it became a source of stress to stay on top of the thank yous when I had a newborn baby who wouldn’t nap and wouldn’t let me put her down! At one point I ran out of cards and stationery, and I would have loved to have chosen, customized and mailed a card from Greeting Card Universe vs. dragging her to the store, looking for cards, writing it out, signing it, addressing it and getting it in the mailbox!! I know it’s maybe not quite as personal as signing and addressing it yourself but still!
If you’re looking for a unique card or any card really, check Greeting Card Universe first!
Be sure to follow Greeting Card Universe on Twitter and “like” Greeting Card Universe on Facebook!
Giveaway: One winner will receive a code for 5 free greeting cards. (ARV $15) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.

I received a Serta Royal Sleeper crib mattress to review for the new baby. My son is using an almost 7 year old crib mattress, which has been in near constant use for those 7 years between my daughter using it in a crib, then toddler bed, then passing it along to him. Don’t worry, we will be buying him a new one for sure!
I’m not even sure what that mattress is, but it’s the typical white/pastel flower print, vinyl exterior, stiff crib mattress. The under side of it (the side my daughter used) is actually cracked. I don’t remember how much it was, maybe $80 or so, but really, it should have been replaced at least 3 times by now!
The mattress is not 100% organic however, it’s an excellent compromise. It has 221 continuous coils for support & durability and fully clipped perimeter border wire for firm edges and balanced support when your baby is standing. 4 corner supports and 2 side flex clips provide additional support. Over the coils, there is an ortho-insulator layer, a layer of organic cotton, then a Serta Fireblocker layer. Everything is covered with a water resistant, hypoallergenic jacquard cover. I haven’t tested the cover to see just how water resistant it is, but I initially didn’t think it was, until I read the packaging. It feels like a lovely mattress, not the plastic you expect from a crib mattress. There are also 6 vents to keep air circulating. The cover is secured with heavy binding and lock stitching.
The mattress I received actually sat in the plastic for a good month+ while we waited for our crib to ship. When we took it out we discovered a small defect where some of the lock stitching was missed. I contacted the company (the mattresses are actually made by Lajobi) not expecting much…the mattress was “free” after all, but I did want to let them know. I received a speedy response and they replaced the mattress for me! Excellent, courteous and professional customer service.
The Serta Royal Sleeper is sold at Babies R Us with a list price of $159.99. At the time I’m writing this, it’s on sale for $129.99, and there’s an additional $20 off $125 savings. I’m sure that will be over by the time this post is published, but if you’re on their mailing list, you will likely have a 20% off coupon to use! Anyway my point is that while this mattress seemed pricey at first, you can really get it for about the same as the “cheap” crib mattresses, and it is so much nicer. I don’t doubt that it will last through crib and toddler bed use, as opposed to our “cheapie” mattress, that didn’t make it through my daughter’s crib days intact.
The mattress is a standard crib mattress size, and will fit in both cribs and toddler beds. Since it is water resistant but not water proof I think I will buy a Serta Organic Mattress Cover like the one I have to give away to one of you! The cover retails for $24.99, and is 52″ x 28″ and fitted. It’s elasticized end to end so it doesn’t shift, is PVC and Phthlate free and machine washable. The top is 100% organic quilted cotton and the underside is 100% waterproof!
Giveaway: I have a Serta Organic Crib Mattress pad to send one winner! (ARV $24.99.) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.

Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
